Wow, it’s the last day and the final task that’s been set is to create a poll and/or a survey to collect feedback from your readers on your site and its content.

I took a look at a Polldaddy account and it looks as if it is fully integrated with WordPress, which is great as it will mean it’s easy to set-up a questionnaire.

At the moment, as the site is only 2 months old, I think it’s a little early to get statistical data that would be informative.

It’s always a good idea to make sure that the base of respondents is a good cross selection of the  audience and that the sample size is big enough to be statistically valid in terms of quantitive Data – that’s stats in terms of numbers of people responding – e.g 50% agree, 30 percent disagree etc. For qualitative data, this is about getting feedback that’s either verbal or written and can be quite subjective. So having a combination of both types of data will give the best picture possible.

There is a free tool, which if anyone hasn’t come across it or heard of it is called Survey Monkey which is very easy to set-up. There’s a  great article on the site which explains statistics and what you need to consider for the results to be valid

As this is the last day of the course, there’s really just one final thing to say, which is to thank the lovely team at WordPress for organising these courses and giving me the opportunity of Blog meeting so many Bloggers. Thanks also to everyone for the Likes, follows and the feedback I got to help me improve the Blog.

I’ve exchanged my details in the Commons and hope to keep in touch to find out how everyone in the Class of July ’15’s Blogging 201 will progress with their Blogs 🙂
